schema:value """The key aim is to improve employee safety in the workplace by requiring field inspections using evidence no older than 3 months that verify real-world compliance with PPE use and safe worksite readiness.
The effectiveness of this measure depends on clearly assigning responsibility for pre‑work checks to supervisors, who systematically verify personal protective equipment use and the safe preparation of the worksite before any felling begins. Involving workers in daily risk assessment discussions and pre‑shift briefings helps ensure that specific, location‑based hazards (such as leaning trees, dead branches, terrain, and weather conditions) are identified and understood by everyone, rather than treated as generic risks. Consulting occupational safety specialists and using simple tools such as checklists or visual maps of danger zones can support consistent implementation. Documenting who is responsible for the first‑aid kit and fire extinguisher, and verifying their presence and condition, reinforces accountability and embeds these practices into routine work organisation instead of leaving them to informal habits.""" ],

schema:value "The Lithuanian forestry sector is recognised worldwide as a high-risk sector, with systematic non-compliance with safety rules, insufficient internal safety controls and inadequate work organisation. In Lithuania, 30% more serious accidents and 50% more fatal accidents occurred in 2021–2023 compared to 2018–2020. Expert assessments (E18 and E7) confirm that, given the high mortality rate, widespread violations (92% related to non-compliance, weak control and poor organisation) and the fact that more than half of loggers do not apply basic safety rules in practice, the health and safety risks for workers in this sector are clearly high. Therefore, the risk is non-negligible." ],
